Just got my TCL P8 55" TV installed today.
The picture quality is good.
Here are some of my issues :-
1) Prime Video is flaky as hell. It's slow, takes a lot of time to load andni am unable to play 4k videos. All videos Play in 1080p maximum.
I had problems signining in to prime video. I had to reinstall it multiple times for it to actually show the login screen so i could login.
2) Bluetooth issues. My Xiaomi Bluetooth audio earphones are having a lot of issues keeping sound connected. If i switch to another app or let the TV idling for a minute or two, I lose the sound. I have to reconnect by going to Bluetooth settings of the tv.
3) The TCL android remote app to control the TV is super buggy and very unreliable. i am unable to enter text using the remote. I have to use the physical tv remote to enter text which is a giant PITA.
I have been spoiled by firestick remote app and now realize how slick and polished the firestick app was compared to this joke of an android TCL remote app.
I've ordered a firestick 4k as it is still in discount today. I'll see if i can sort out these issues with the TCL android tv in the next few days. If i can sort them out, I'll return the fire stick.
Moral of the story - These new budget Smart TVs have lousy software experiences
